Information services provider Thomson Reuters, US, has announced that Micromedex clinical decision support and CareNotes patient education content will be integrated within the M2 Health Care Information System (HCIS). M2 is an information systems vendor assisting healthcare organisations in fully maximising their return on HCIS investments.
As a result, hospitals that use the M2 HCIS will be able to seamlessly connect clinicians directly to Micromedex referential summary documents and relevant, evidence-based patient education at any point in the care process. Micromedex clinical decision support will be delivered via InfoButton, an easy-to-implement solution that integrates within a hospital's electronic medical record system, computerised prescription order entry system, pharmacy system, or Web portal. With quick access to abbreviated drug, disease, and lab content, along with the ability to link to more detailed clinical reference material, InfoButton supports the highest standard of care and speeds clinical decision making.
CareNotes helps healthcare information systems generate education material that is tailored for the patient and covers medications, diagnosis, procedures, and tests. With topics including diet, exercise, disease prevention, and a host of ‘How To’ documents, CareNotes empowers patients to actively participate in their care, and also helps meet The Joint Commission and OBRA '90 patient education guidelines. This solution enable physicians, nurses, and pharmacists to make the right clinical decisions and help their patients take a more active role in their recovery, all without disrupting their workflow.
